## Key points

- Measure EE lets LA council members meet once a week.
- Council members’ salaries remain about $250,000 a year.
- The article warns reduced meetings may weaken public accountability.

## Summary

Los Angeles voters appear to have approved Measure EE, an initiative that lets city council members meet once a week instead of three times. The opinion piece argues that the change may reduce residents’ access to their representatives and make an already struggling council less accountable.

The measure also includes other changes, such as strengthening oversight of the police and fire departments. Council members will continue to earn about a quarter of a million dollars a year; the article says some may use the extra time to work with residents, while others may not. It suggests the vote reflects dissatisfaction with the council rather than confidence in it.
